14 Annual Product
Inspection
(Therapist, Technician, Leckey Product
Advisor, Dealer)
Leckey recommend that each product should
be subject to a detailed inspection at least
once a year and every time the product is
reissued for use. This inspection should
be carried out by a technically competent
person who has been trained in the use of
the product and should include the following
checks as a minimum requirement.
1. Check all knobs, nuts, bolts and plastic
buckles are in place, replacing any missing
items. Paying particular attention to the
following items;
> Headsupport locking bolts.
> Backrest height and angle
adjustments bolts.
> Seat depth adjustment bolts.
> Pelvic harness / hip guide
attachment bolts.
> Footrest height and angle
adjustment.
2. Check the chassis height adjustment
mechanism is working properly. If the
chassis is foot pedal operated ensure the
seat height doesn’t change when the pedal
is released. Also, check that the locking
pin engages securely to prevent accidental
height adjustment of the chassis.
3. Adjust the seat to its maximum range of
tilt-in-space and ensure that the locking lever
locks the seat out securely at varying point in
this range.
4. Check that were the seat and chassis join
there is no visible wear or tear on the metal
components.
5. Lift the base to check each castor
individually. Make sure they are moving
freely and remove any dirt from the rubber
wheels. Check that the brakes lock the
wheels securely.
6. Visually check the structure of the
product paying attention to weld points
on the frame ensuring there are no signs
of fatigue or cracking around the welds.
7. Leckey recommend that a written
record is maintained of all annual
product inspections.
If in any doubt to the continued safe
use of your Leckey product or if any
parts should fail, please cease using the
product and contact our customer
service department or your local dealer
as soon as possible.
